(CANOGA PARK, CA) -- With some of the best female ethnic performers in adult matched with top-notch male performers, Mercenary Pictures' owner Lexington Steele said Black Reign 5, released this week, promises to be a worthy addition to the AVN Award-winning series.

"Black Reign was awarded with Best Ethnic-Themed Series by AVN, and the fifth volume will uphold the series' track record of excellence and quality," Steele said. "The title features beautiful women of color shot in some of the best scenes of their career."

Steele added that he believes that Mercenary has raised the bar on ethnic titles.

"I have never discounted the budgets of my titles featuring ethnic women," he said. "This is the practice of many of my competitors. The distinction between Mercenary ethnic product and other ethnic releases to the market is broad and without a close competitor. Black Reign 5 is the strongest Black Reign title I have released. I directed it and I guarantee it."
